what spoiler can fit on a vert?

Is there a stock spoiler that can fit on a vert? I think it would look better with one.

I am pretty sure there is a stock spoiler for the vert.

There is NO stock "spoiler" for the 'vert (at least in the U.S. and in all the literature I've read including Mazda's own parts ordering system). There are however numerous aftermarkets such as Mariah's offerings, Mazdatrix has a fibreglass one, and I've seen many adaptations of other vehicle's wings to the 'verts, like Rotary Resurrection's 3000GT wing.

apparently you can fit a stock GTU/TII wing on the vert.....check out the thread Body kit on the FC Never seen before.

no rice, I promise. Is putting s4 TII wheels on it rice though? Cause I just did that and I really like it. The turbo swap will come in due time, I'm just waiting for the current engine to blow first.

You can see what I have done, I stole the idea from rotarymaz.

Some flat wing off like a nissan 240 or something might work well, too...

do NOT try to put a stock coupe wing on the vert...it looks like ****.

Looks like it was made narrower, I thought this wing should extend to the edge? Shouldn't a stock GTU/TII wing be almost flush with the quarter panels?

Can anyone confirm the pic in the linked thread is a modified spoiler? Won't the stock TII/GTU spoiler stop the vert trunk from opening? Or at least can't be bolted down?

It's probably bolted to the outside edge of the trunk, and simply overlaps the rear quarters when shut.

I don't think it looks that bad, but there are better choices out there. I've been eyeing a pretty new Taurus SES w/a cool spoiler on it (stock).

I wish there was a salvage yard near me...

I think a flat spoiler (like kevin said) would look nice on a vert.
